JavaFX ..
Huh?
..what its really mean ??
I'd never heard of it till just now.
(Note also that one question mark is enough.)
.., sun announce it at JavaOne ,
Google leads me here,..
<
http://www.sun.com/software/javafx/index.jsp>
..which is not very clear to me, but suggests a
replacement for JMF - for handling audio and
video content? However that page also links to..
its scripting language , what Sun want to say , go out for AJAX or
replace our old Applets with fantastic Script language, or replace
Micromedia Flash ?
..here.

Which suggests it is a quicker way to write Swing
GUI's and doing data binding (something sorely
lacking in the J2SE).
Typical of Sun to spout such drivel on the first page I
found, that their new GUI scripting library could be
mistaken for a media presentation plug-in.
..even if its focus in Mobile trend , ..
Rich client (Swing and similar) GUI's transportable
between phones, and other devices, up to desktop
clients.
I'd have to agree.
Given 90%+ of Java development is server side, with
either thin client (Servlet/JSP/HTML) GUI's or the same,
jazzed up with the RIA mentioned below - AJAX and such,
I would say that *nothing* Sun does in rich client API's will
raise a lot of interest in the developer community - even if
it gives all it promises (and I am still not sure what that is -
the proof would be in the use).
Huhh? Oh..
"Rich Internet applications (RIA) are Web applications
that have the features and functionality of traditional
desktop applications. RIAs .." (Wikipedia)
No, I dont think it is aimed at the HTML bound
interface, even those improved with AJAX, but
could be used in an applet (with rich client -
Swing GUI).
...its too late after GWT & YUI ..
Same there - both JS/HTML based (& the second
of which I had to look up as 'Yahoo! UI Library (YUI)').
